Zenmoney Transaction	Beancount Result

Income (income only)	Credit to asset, debit from income
Transfer (same currency)	Debit from source, credit to destination
Currency exchange	Debit in one currency, credit in another with price

Currency Exchange with Price

Currency exchanges automatically include price annotations for proper cost tracking:

  Assets:Bank:PKO:PLN   -4250.00 PLN
  Assets:Bank:PKO:EUR    1000.00 EUR @ 4.25 PLN

Metadata Preservation

Each transaction includes metadata from ZenMoney:

2025-12-14 * "SuperMarket" ""
  zenmoney_created: "2025-12-14 10:30:00"
  zenmoney_changed: "2025-12-14 11:00:00"

  Expenses:Food:Groceries    125.50 PLN

File Archiving Support

The importer implements date() and filename() methods for beangulp archiving:

# Archive files with automatic date-based naming
beangulp archive -e ledger.beancount import.py zenmoney_export.csv
# Creates: documents/Assets/Import/ZenMoney/2025-11-29-to-2025-12-15.zenmoney.csv

Logging

Skipped rows are logged as warnings for troubleshooting:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.WARNING)
